Join the president of Divers Alert Network, Dan Orr, as he addresses a review of nearly 1,000 diver fatalities from DANs database identifying the triggering event and subsequent steps that turned an otherwise enjoyable dive into an emergency. This presentation will also discuss prevention of diving accidents.
Despite the seriousness of the topic, the presentation is also entertaining!
This is a great tool for every diver's gear bag. Understanding what causes dive accidents is a first step in preventing them.
The Academy of Scuba is truly honored to welcome Dan to our dive community. His experience and great presentation skills will certainly be a valuable experience for all of us.
